理想二语自我:类型设定与作用检验

Ideal L2 selves:Type categorization and effect test

本研究在对主要理想二语自我进行分类的基础上,运用问卷调查、配对样本t检验、回归分析等方法对中国某高校非英语专业本科生的各类理想二语自我的强度及其对动机学习行为的影响力进行检验。研究发现,学生的想象性和现实性理想二语自我存在显著性差异,但是其强度与其对动机学习行为的影响力不一致;东方和西方理想二语自我存在显著性差异,其强度与其对动机学习行为的影响力相匹配。研究提供的启示是:在理论上,努力发现认同内化程度较高的动机比穷尽探索所有动机类型更有意义;在实践上,加强动机内化对提升动机学习行为更有效果。

Based on the categorization of the main ideal L2 selves （IL2Ss） and through the questionnaire survey, paired samples t test and regression analysis, this study examines the intensity of different types of IL2Ss and their effect on motivational learning behavior （MLB） among sample EFL undergraduates from a university in China. The findings are as follows： there is significant difference between the means of the imagined and practical IL2Ss among the samples, but the means don＇t match their effect power on MLB; there is also significant difference between the means of the Eastern and Western IL2Ss, and the means do match their effect power on MLB. The study implies that it＇s better to construct more identification-internalized motivations than to explore theoretically as many motivations as possible, and MLB can be promoted effectively by deepening the internalization of motivations.
